Key to abbreviations used in Ceol mor gracenotes

Add to album

Chart or key to the abbreviations used by Major General Charles Thomason in his publication of the classical music of the Great Highland bagpipe in 1893. Having collected piobaireachd music from every possible source for about 30 years, the editor brought his collection together finally in 1900 as 'A Collection of Piobaireachd played on the Great Highland Bagpipe - Ceòl Mór'. He used a system of shorthand in order to enable him to compress nearly 300 extended pieces of music into the one volume that would make all piobaireachd available to pipers at a modest price.
